Never have liked him...That whiny, drawn out shot description he has  on shots around the green is really annoying. I don't knoowwwww.... I don't knowwwww. Like fingers on a chalk board.

Yes and he always ends it on a high note like some kid in grade school. Not a fan either.

Chris Berman is the worst golf announcer of all time by a factor of 1000. Plus, he claimed to be a 13 handicap one year while playing in the Pebble Beach Pro Am. He played more like a 36.

Yes indeed.  I CANNOT believe that he said Tora! Tora! Tora! when one of the Japanese players made a putt this week.  How in the freaking world is he not getting blasted for that? Using a Pearl Harbor bombing reference when describing a Japanese player's putt?  Did anyone else in the world catch that comment?

Back to you Roger "Single"  Maaaaaaltbie.  Makes me cringe.  I also loved his short sleeve shirt with the tie look on Friday.  Homer Simpson.

Koch is a Doggie Downer! The way he talks, every shot has a potential for disaster and Koch is prepared for it!  "Johnny, there are bunkers down the left side and (OOOOOOOOH) there's water down the right.  He doesn't want to top it or rope hook it because (OOOOOOOOH) that could be trouble!!    OOOOOOOHH!    Worst......announcer........ever!!!!

Hmm.  I'd better check my Urban Dictionary for 'doggie downer'.  Might have something to do with 'doggie style' which i do like.

Unfortunately, a doggie downer is a sedative.

Golf Channel/NBC really looked at their lineup for The Players and thought, “You know what this needs? More Gary Koch.” Seriously? They dragged him out of retirement, shoved the usual guys aside, and now we’re stuck listening to his overly dramatic, self-important tone all weekend. Every shot is either the hardest thing he’s ever seen or a “just OK” effort. The endless clichés, the condescending delivery—it’s exhausting. Was anyone actually asking for this? Or is Golf Channel/NBC just out of touch?

 

Funny enough, I turned to ChatGPT just to see if anyone else felt the same way, and it led me here. Turns out, this thread has been dead for 3,710 days, but I guess some things never change—especially Golf Channel/NBC’s questionable commentary decisions

I watch golf (actually any sports I watch) with the sound turned off. 

But kudos to ChatGPT. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

      Stryper Training Aids and US Import Tariff Increases

      By Stryper · Posted

      Hi all. I have sought permission from admin to post this here. First, here's a quick link to my products on TST, which a few of the mods have been road-testing...  Most of you would be aware of the import tariffs imposed on importers to the US circa September last year. Prior to their introduction, I was selling a decent number each week into the 'States. Since the tariffs came in - which added ~AU$60 to the total cost of getting them over there - sales have dropped to virtually nil. I think fear of the tariffs is the biggest part rather than the actual cost increase, despite me declaring everywhere on my site that we pay the tariffs and have successfully got every order into the US without any problems since. What is still unknown to most US consumers is that these tariffs will DOUBLE in February as Australia Post will no longer be allowed to offer "private" rates, they all change to "commercial". I do indeed think that this will make the products uncompetitive to ship there. So what's the backstory?  I'm a small Aussie business, not some corporate juggernaut. I invented these products - not a reseller for someone else. The import tariffs double in February, so add another ~15% to the total cost. If you want StanceMate alone I can do a super deal on a run-out model PREVIEW HERE (note you cannot purchase this yet. I think the shipped price will be about AU$110 inc Shipping (tariffs included). If you want to reduce the cost of the whole Stryper Plus Bundle I can swap the runout StanceMate to reduce the overall price by AU$60. These work EXACTLY as the newer version, just not as premium quality in the way the finish is achievbed in production) IMPORTANT: All import tariffs are PRE-PAID at my end, and clears customs no problem. I've sent a half dozen since October with every one delivered. NB: I'm not here to get into the politics of the decisions on tariffs, so let's not go down that road. It is what it is! So StanceMate to your door in US - tariffs prepaid - about US$70 Bundle to your door in US - tariffs prepaid - US$240 Bundle (with version 1 StanceMate) to your door in US - tariffs prepaid - US$200 Cheers Corbs
